A young man sprayed a police car with bullets from an assault rifle during a traffic stop, wounding an officer before being shot himself, authorities said Sunday.

Two police officers pulled over a small black Honda in the Montecito Heights neighborhood northeast of downtown Los Angeles just after 11 p.m. Saturday.

Seeing as how the scumbags had already violated numerous laws being merely in possession of such a rifle, maybe it's time for Kommiefornia's politicians to be forced into rehab and allow the citizenry to deal with the problems.

What do you bet it was a couple of wanna-be gang bangers going through initiation?

This is fodder for the anti-gun people to talk up banning such weapons. How do these maggots get hold of weapons like this but citizens are denied the right to obtain them?

the suspect charged at him but was shot in the leg

Better spend some time at the pistol range.

I wonder what type of '47 it was. Was it an automatic (not permitted in Kalifornia at all), or a semi-auto? The writer says that the shooter "sprayed" but let's have some detail, please...SSZ

The Chinese versions are crap.

I recently picked up a nice Romanian package (civilian legal AK variant) complete witt the correct sling, bayonet, 2 mags, oiler, and a case for less than $400.00.

With a case of Russian Wolf ammo I got out of the store for less than $600.00.

Not bad.

It doesn't matter, any AK-47, and anything that looks even remotely similar, are banned in Kalifornia.

What's an "assault rifle"?

Just in case this is a serious question, and/or for those who actually don't know:

By definition, an "assault rifle" is a selective-fire rifle, chambered for a cartridge of reduced size/power (e.g. 7.62x39).

The term "assault rifle" comes from the German "Sturmgewehr".

Assault Rifle

Military firearm that is chambered for ammunition of reduced size or propellant charge and that has the capacity to switch between semiautomatic and fully automatic fire.

- Encyclopedia Britannica

Wait for more information on the AK before getting to exercised about the spraying reference. It may have been a semi-automatic AK but to the news media it will still be called an assault weapon when fired.

Since my dog has black fur, do I have to get a Class 3 license for possessing an 'assault canine?'

"Just in case this is a serious question, and/or for those who actually don't know:"

I've owned several. I just see the term used in the news all too often, and I doubt the people writing such stories even know what an "assault rifle" is. I'm sure they label guns based on looks, like the '94 gun ban was done. In my opinion an assault rifle is any rifle used to assault someone with lol.
